Less than 2% of investment capital flows to female-led companies.
We founded Daintree Capital because we see a huge investment opportunity in funding founders who are often overlooked by traditional investors. If you believe talent is equally distributed regardless of race, gender or socio-economic status, then there is a significant opportunity to invest in founders who have not had access to investment capital.
We seek out founders from all backgrounds with a particular focus on investing in founders who have been overlooked and undervalued because of their gender, race, or socio-economic background. We are working to build a world where investment capital flows to founders based on the strength of their ideas and the depth of their work ethnic, not based on the serendipity of their life circumstances.
We invest in companies run by diverse teams because the data demonstrate these companies outperform.
Despite these improved outcomes, the vast majority of investment capital flows to all-male and all-white management teams
